Moshe Carmeli (Hebrew: משה כרמלי, 1933–2007) was the Albert Einstein Professor of Theoretical Physics, Ben Gurion University (BGU), Beer Sheva, Israel and President of the Israel Physical Society. He received his D.Sc. from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in 1964. He became the first full professor at BGU's new Department of Physics. He did significant theoretical work in the fields of cosmology, astrophysics, general and special relativity, gauge theory, and mathematical physics, authoring 4 books, co-authoring 4 others, and publishing 128 refereed research papers in various journals and forums, plus assorted other publications (146 in all). He is most notable for his work on gauge theory and his development of the theory of cosmological general relativity, which extends Einstein's theory of general relativity from a four-dimensional spacetime to a five-dimensional space-velocity framework.
Carmeli was born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1933. However, he spent the majority of his life and career in Israel and the United States of America. In 1960, he received his Masters of Science from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem under the supervision of N. Zeldes. In 1964, he received his Doctor of Science from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel under the supervision of Nathan Rosen.
